[afterword]

[ The touch pulling him by the waist has his heart fluttering, which flusters Dokja to feel, knowing despite the effects of this week it's not entirely that. A reminder how he truly is in love with this man.

Arms gingerly loop around Joonghyuk, eyes closing to the kiss to his forehead. He scoffs a little at the words. Even with such affection, Joonghyuk's mouth continues to be rude. ] I'm not that fragile. I'm not so paper light as to be swept away by the waves either.

[ Tilts his head to sneak another kiss on his lips. ]

[malewife]

[ Dokja can tell by the hand on the small of his back and the kiss to his forehead that Joonghyuk is very careful with his actions. He isn't sure if he should be indulging in what he does not have in home, what he doesn't know if he will have. In many ways, it feels like he's taking what isn't his.

However, in almost all iterations he has known himself, he has always been greedy. The hesitation doesn't lessen because of this—he keeps thinking about the Dokja who should be waiting for him and his companions at home. ]

You're too thin.

[ Huffs after the second kiss. ]

[afterword]

[ It's obvious he's careful, has been the past few weeks. Dokja just.. he can't bring himself to, when tomorrow is Thursday. For all he knows, either of them could end up dead. And while there was some contact in their previous game.. there has yet to be any this time around.

It's partly why he keeps Joonghyuk closer rather than further. Even if he has his home waiting for him, for both Biyoo and him to return to. Huffs a small laugh at that. ]

Not as much. I've been putting on weight. [ Especially under his companion's watch. He is not nearly as thin as he was when he woke up again. ]

[malewife]

[ Pinches his side to check. ]

[afterword]

[ JUMPS A LIL. hello?? ]

Can you really not tell? [ HE'S GOT MORE FAT ON HIM YOU BRAT ]

[malewife]

I can't. You look the same.

[ He's just being mean. ]

[afterword]

Such a pain...

[ grumble ]

[malewife]

... You look thinner than the last time I saw you.

[ To be completely honest. He hasn't seen the pathetic state of Dokja's body in full yet at his canonpoint. Doesn't know that he would be in such poor condition he needs a wheelchair later.

He just...

Remembers a child. ]

[afterword]

So you keep mentioning. [ it's said with some amusement.

you can't compare him with a child. buries his face a little into his shoulder, mostly to close his eyes and relax. as relaxed as he can be in this kind of situation. ]

[malewife]

It isn’t my fault.

[ It’s Dokja’s? But he doesn’t bring it up more. Instead, he tucks his arm and lowers himself so he can pick Dokja up into his arms.

Enjoy a carry. ]

[afterword]

Well..

[ and he's cut off by the sudden carry??? HELLO? his grip on Joonghyuk tightens if only because-- ] You better not be trying to throw me into the water--

[ he WILL drag you with him. ]

[malewife]

Why would I do that?

[ Spins him around? ]

[afterword]

Because that's the kind of thing you would do.

[ tightens his hold a bit more firmly at the spin. help.

Jin yipyaps from where she is cause it looks fun? ]

[malewife]

You think you know me that well to predict what I'll do.

[ Doesn't Dokja enjoy being carried like a princess? It's better than being carried like a sack of potatoes which is how Joonghyuk usually carries him after a battle where they're close to bleeding out, right?

Niah is trying to dry off with some shakes. ]

[afterword]

I would think that I know you enough.

[ you sir are a fiend. certainly, it is better than being carried like a sack but he is not used to princess carry treatment?? and thus he has SUSPICIONS. because of that he refuses to loosen the hold he has.

Jin tackles Niah as he shakes. ]

[malewife]

You should call yourself a prophet seriously.

[ Drops Dokja into the water. ]

[afterword]

Yoo Joonghyuk!!

[ HE IS DEAD WEIGHT IN PULLING HIM WITH. HE DIDN'T TIGHTEN HIS HOLD FOR NOTHING. ]

[malewife]

[ Joonghyuk watches as Dokja tries to dangle off of him. You weigh like a grape, so… ]

[afterword]

Bastard.

[ kicks at his shin. ]

[malewife]

[ Lowers himself so Dokja can be hit by cold waves. ]

[afterword]

[ you Bitch. he's gonna wrap his legs around Joonghyuk's waist and cling like a koala as he yelps when some of the cold water hits him. ]

Why are you like this.

[malewife]

It's not that cold.

[ Since he is also getting wet. ]

[afterword]

It's cold enough!

[ he will complain because you are bullying. ]

[malewife]

You can release me and escape.

[ Another wave comes and hits them. ]

[afterword]

I won't.

[ yelps when another wave hits them. ]

..Maybe I will.
